The Reuters news agency reported, citing three "informed sources", that Saudi Arabia has resumed the operation of the "East-West" pipeline and may resume exports from Yanbu port in the Red Sea from today, Tuesday.

Drone attacks on this pipeline caused Saudi Arabia to stop the transfer of oil from the "East-West" pipeline on September 13 (22 in Sharibar), and then it was reported that the loading of crude oil at the port of Yanbu was also stopped.

By supplying oil to Yanbu port with this pipeline, Saudi Arabia exports its oil without crossing the Strait of Hormuz.
